This goes back to the time when there was no McDonald’s in Kerikeri. The Chronicle (Saturday March 6,1999) carried the following story: “Paul and Sandra Steiner who plan to open the new McDonald’s fast food outlet attended the meeting with McDonald’s Director Glenn Corbett. Mr Steiner said he was passionate about his business and he was committed to bringing McDonald’s to Kerikeri. The paper said KERIKERI DIVIDED– but in spite of opposition there is now a big McDonald’s in the middle of the town.

Are we as Christians passionate about the business of our Lord Jesus Christ? Are we taking the GOSPEL ( Romans 1:16,17) to places where people are who have not heard yet about the Lord Jesus Christ?— Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-18; Luke 24:46-49; John 20:19-23; Acts 1:8 .
